Dinner doesn't get much easier than this Cheesy Smoked Sausage and Cabbage Casserole. I guarantee it will go into heavy rotation in your home!
Noticing an abundance of low carb cabbage recipes on my site lately? Well, I typed in the wrong quantity on my online grocery order and ended up with a whole lotta cabbage. 5 heads to be exact. I do not waste food, so I went into crazy cabbage mode and created some pretty delicious new low carb cabbage recipes. I'm pretty sure my family doesn't want to see cabbage gracing their dinner plates any time soon. I took half of this casserole, vacuum sealed it and threw it in the freezer for another time.

I really enjoyed this recipe and took it upon myself to add some dried Italian herbs to enhance the flavor of this dish. Im not sure if anyone else had this problem, but my dish came out pretty watery. Are there any steps that I can take to prevent this?

Thank you for posting this recipe! It is so good. I make half a recipe at a time for just me. Any thoughts on making this in an Instant Pot? How long to cook? Any input is truly appreciated! Thank you again for a delicious low carb meal!????????

Hey Norma, So happy you enjoyed this recipe! I personally don't cook with an InstantPot, so can't offer much help in that arena, perhaps someone else that has adapted it will chime in. I am certain it can be done, I just don't know what settings or the cooking times since I have not done it.

I made this, but instead of using smoked sausage I used a roll of sausage and cooked and crumbled it before adding to the cabbage. I'm not a huge cabbage fan, but I really enjoyed this dish!
Denise says
This was very simple to make! I added the sausage before the tomatoes to allow it to cook through first.

This was very good. I took the advice of some others and added a little smoked paprika. I didn’t have crushed tomatoes, so I just broiled 2 tomatoes and smashed them up. The cheese on top is a nice touch but not necessary, as it’s yummy all on its own. My husband does NOT follow a low card diet so he throws it over rice to make it’ a little more filling. This makes it great recipe because it take very minimal work for me to cook for myself as well as my family and still follow a low carb diet! It’s a total win-win!

I made this tonight for my family. I was a bit skeptical but was pleasantly surprised. All four kids gobbled it up. This was SO good. I did add a little seasoned salt and Italian seasoning to the mixture. I also added a sprinkle of Italian seasoning on top of cheese before baking. DELISH!
